Features
From epic pow days to hot laps at the resort, this ski is equipped to handle anything nature throws your way. Engineered to do to the unimaginable; be a lightweight ski with a powerfully smooth ride that responds effortlessly in all conditions and terrain. Its Tubelight woodcore enhanced with carbon rods, UD carbon and flax fiber tips are perfect for skiers who demand a mix of floatation in powder, agility in technical terrain and stability on groomed runs when the powder stash runs low.
Carbon Deck Technology combines the powerful rebound of Tubelite Woodcore, with carbon rods and unidirectional carbon (UD) edge bands. These combined technologies provide powerful rebound, torsional rigidity and a strong, stable platform for superior response and a smooth ride.
- Flax Fiber — A layer of natural Flax Fiber is placed in the tip of the ski to neutralize vibration and chatter, providing a smooth ride at high speeds and in variable snow conditions.
- Tubelite Woodcore — To create the TubeLite Woodcore, two super lightweight Carbon tubes are inserted into a lightweight laminated wood core. These tubes run the length of the ski following the arc of the side cut. They provide torsional stability and powerful rebound while allowing for material reduction of the core. The result is incredible lightweight response and stability.
- Carbon Rods — Lightweight Carbon tubes inserted into the ski and run the length of the ski following the arc of the side cut. The carbon tubes provide torsional stability and powerful rebound while allowing for material reduction of the core. The result is incredible lightweight response and stability.
- UD Carbon — Unidirectional carbon bands are strategically positioned along both edges of the ski to create torsional stability which produces superior response and intuitive maneuverability at an extremely light weight.
- Sintered Running Base — The special ultra-high molecular weight running base delivers excellent durability and superb gliding performance in variety of conditions.
- Slanted Sidewall Technology — The SST Construction provides quick, nimble and direct power transmission from the ski to snow as well as providing exceptional torsional rigidity.
- Amphibio Technology — Amphibio Tech is the complete, fulldimension asymmetrical ski design. Influencing both the profile and construction of dedicated right and left skis.

Will these skis feel stable under my feet all day, or do my feet get tired?
Carbon Deck Technology, carbon rods, and UD carbon create a strong, stable platform with torsional rigidity and powerful rebound. At 1,720 g per ski in the 182 cm length, the ski pairs that stability with lightweight response.
How much does weight matter when I'm skiing back-to-back runs?
The 182 cm Ripstick 102 weighs 1,720 g per ski. Its TubeLite Woodcore and carbon construction are engineered to deliver lightweight response while retaining torsional stability and rebound.
Do these skis turn easily, or do they require a lot of force?
UD carbon bands along both edges provide superior response and intuitive maneuverability at an extremely light weight. The ski is also built with tip and tail rocker, supporting its agile feel in technical terrain.
Will these skis handle the speed I want to ski at without feeling out of control?
Flax fiber in the tip neutralizes vibration and chatter for a smooth ride at high speeds and in variable snow conditions. Carbon Deck Technology adds torsional rigidity and a strong, stable platform for controlled response.
How do these skis feel on moguls versus groomed runs?
The Ripstick 102 is built for agility in technical terrain and stability on groomed runs. Its responsive, torsionally rigid construction is intended to keep the ride smooth as terrain changes.
Are these skis built for carving groomers, or can they handle powder and rough snow too?
The Ripstick 102 is a powder/freeride ski built for floatation in powder, agility in technical terrain, and stability on groomed runs. Its 102 mm waist, tip and tail rocker, and vibration-damping flax tip support use across changing snow and terrain.
Can I use these skis for both on-piste and off-piste skiing, or are they specialized for one?
The Ripstick 102 is designed for powder/freeride use and is also marked for resort use. It combines powder float and technical-terrain agility with stability on groomed runs, making it suited to both off-piste snow and in-bounds laps.
What happens if I ski these on a day with mixed snow conditions?
Flax fiber in the tip neutralizes vibration and chatter to keep the ride smooth in variable snow conditions. The TubeLite Woodcore, carbon rods, and UD carbon add lightweight response, rebound, and torsional stability as conditions change.
